Hi Eric,
Great point, but in my experience, a cd that requires a "key," (like microsoft for example) is meant to protect proprietary software. I don't view copyrighted software as being similar to a tutorial. I liken a tutorial to yarn patterns that my wife buys. There is nothing said that she can't give or sell the pattern to her friends, relatives or others. Also, there are no restrictions on the product that she produces from that pattern. So, that being said, I don't see how a tutorial is different from selling an used book, etc...
